Hello Greg,
this adds support for Samsung N220 to your samsung-backlight. Tested on my
device, works for me.

Hm, the driver that ended up in the kernel is very different from this
version. Can you work with that version and add the needed changes
there and generate a patch?
thanks,

Oh, did not notice it was included in mainline already.
I applied the attached patch. Insmod now gives:
insmod: error inserting 'samsung-laptop.ko': -1 Invalid parameters
and the logs contain the following:
kernel: samsung_laptop: found laptop model 'N220'
kernel: This computer does not support SABI
What is this SABI and SECLINUX thing about? Do you have a link to any more
information? Is it possible that the N220 does not have this?
The N220 uses a Pine Train platform (featuring N450 with 64bit support), so I
installed x86_64 to the device.
I would be glad to test whatever you give me.
Regards,
Chris

It is the BIOS interface that the kernel talks to.

No, I don't know of any public information on this interface, sorry.

Yes, it does not.

I'm sorry, but I am not allowed to make any changes to the driver to
support other laptops at this time, but I can accept patches written by
others.
Yeah, it sucks, sorry.
